1st Day

So, I'm here and safe. My flight went well...I slept off and on. It was 15 hours though and that is a really long time to be sitting on a plane, lol, after about 10 my feet were pretty much mad at me. When we landed I got through customs pretty easily. The people were nice and instructed me where to go...I got my passport stamped :). I had been a little bit nervous about recognizing and finding the family Im staying with once I got here but when I went through the entry thing they were the first people that I saw and they recognized me and smiled at me and it just went really well...I was very pleased. It was crazy windy when we landed...Pastor Tim (the dad) said that it just came in today, that yesterday it was absolutely beautiful and they don't know what happened with today....but ya know I was okay with it being a little bit cooler....I haven't had that kind of weather in a while so it was actually pretty nice. The Loftis' are a really nice family...2 of the girls (Saralisa, a freshman, and Melody, 19) are both really into musicals as well so that is absolutely perfect for me :) High School Musical 2 has not come out yet over here so Saralisa is having a party for it when it comes out, looks like I'll fit right in....I did feel a bit lonely today when I got here....after a nap and a talk with the family I was okay though.
It is strange thinking that I lost a day....this week I never got to have a Tuesday, well maybe for a few hours....that is just so odd to me how that all works...the whole time thing and even the rising and setting of the sun....it all seems so complicated I just don't see how all of it could have just happened or fallen into place over time....It seems sooo obvious that there is a Creator....anyways, that was just a random thought I guess. Im really tired but so far so good.

My mind is amazed by the Creator as well...one of His most wonderful accomplishments is you! About losing your Tuesday...what a strange feeling!!! But check out when you return...maybe you'll get it back. :) And how good is your God to put you with girls who are as crazy about musicals as you!!!!

Hi Jenna! So great to hear from you. What an adventure you are
about to have! It is an answer to
prayer that you feel so comfortable, I can only imagine
how the losing the day thing is; I
can't get my pea-brain around that
one either! I'm the most excited
about your future beach trip; send
pics; that's probably the only way
I will see the Aussie beach:) Love you so very much; praying everyday!

So I'm finally getting caught up on all the happenings...you've been busy already! Don't feel bad at all about the random thoughts and posting them to your blog! That's not only the most interesting part, but that is actually what blogs were created for! You're SUPPOSED to post your own thoughts on your blog.

It's interesting to see how your likes and tastes are lineing up with the other girls there. Sure make life a lot more doable, doesn't it?

Well, I'm going to go back for some more reading. I never just read it all and then comment...I read, comment, read, comment...I'm sure it drives people crazy!

Bye for now!

- Bill

Well everyone already said it. That would be really weird losing an entire day, but it will be even weirder when you come back and you get to repeat a day. haha

I'm so glad that we got to hang out before you left Jenna because I missed you the moment we had to say good bye.

Glad you were able to get some sleep on the plane, and I'm glad the girls share some of the same interests as you. God is wonderful isn't he?

Well I'm thinking about you constantly, wishing I could be with you, and I'm keeping you in my prayers. So keep up the blogging! We all love to read what it is that you're up to

*hugs!*
